Mike GoldsteinHOST
So I think he's gonna be all the better for it, you know.
Mike GoldsteinHOST
If he keeps playing, he's gonna be back, Alcaraz, for the Laver Cup at the end of the month.
Sam TauntonHOST
Yeah.
Mike GoldsteinHOST
Which is Team Europe versus Team World, and, uh-
39 MINS LATER
Mike GoldsteinHOST
Buttered sausage.
Mike GoldsteinHOST
So that is the end of the US Open for another year.
Mike GoldsteinHOST
Uh, coming up, we have the Asian hardcourt swing, the Davis Cup, the Laver Cup, the Tennis Never Sleeps.
Sam TauntonHOST
Never sleeps.
Nick MonroeHOST
You know, you talk about making a plan with your coaches Michael Russell, Paul Annacone, Wolfgang Oswald.
Nick MonroeHOST
What was the plan after losing there, you know, in the third round? What was something that you learned about yourself and about your game that you kinda wanted to focus on currently right now leading into Laver Cup, which will be your next thing you're playing?
Taylor FritzGUEST
I mean, there wasn't anything about that match that specifically, like, stuck out to me as, like, "I need to, like, work on this", to be honest.
Taylor FritzGUEST
It was just, like, "I need to, I need to serve a little better if I need to, if I wanna win that match", and I just didn't have, like, the best serving day, which is unfortunate because it c- it came on a day playing a very good, uh, returner.

Nick MonroeHOST

Andrea PetkovicHOST
[laughs]
Taylor FritzGUEST
Luckily, luckily I was, luckily I was so, I guess, ahead of it to get the, the new balls that I will be able to practice this whole week before leaving to Laver Cup with the, uh, the Tokyo/Shanghai ball, which is, which is nice.
Taylor FritzGUEST
But yeah, it's, it's been frustrating.

Alex GruskinHOST
Two guys who, again, tour finals the last two seasons, two guys who had felt like the window was open for, and I was there.
Alex GruskinHOST
It might legitimately be their crowning moment was beating Zverev, beating Alcaraz, and beating Team Europe at last year's Laver Cup, which I will continue to contend was a significant moment.
Alex GruskinHOST
I was there.
Alex GruskinHOST
Like, you could just tell Fritz was like, "No, I own you now, Sascha." And Demon, in that moment, to beat Alcaraz the way he did, the belief, the confidence, you just thought it might have unlocked something for him.
5 MINS LATER
Alex GruskinHOST
But that was, that was really it.
Alex GruskinHOST
And he lost that one, by the way.
Alex GruskinHOST
When's the last time he won a match on a hard court that really mattered? You, you, like, again, non-Laver Cup, um, 1000 level, Slam level, like, it just, it's been so long.
Alex GruskinHOST
On the clay, there are plenty of opportunities, but on a non-clay surface, and we know he always is gonna phone in the grass court season, that's just not the surface for him.
Anastasia FolorunsoHOST
We will be back in two weeks with a new episode of the pod to recap all that has happened.
Anastasia FolorunsoHOST
Laver Cup will be starting if it hadn't already started by then.
Nick CarterHOST
Yeah, like, thanks everyone for following and making this Grand Pass journey, this community so much fun.
Nick CarterHOST
And let's face it, like, the reason we're making this is for you, and we're loving all the interaction and following along.
John SilkHOST
Shelton wasn't quite the same player in 2023, albeit I know he makes the semis in the US that year.
John SilkHOST
Another one's at the Laver Cup, whatever you wanna des- describe it as, I don't know, but I don't, I don't throw a lot into that.
John SilkHOST
And the other one, I saw that Alcaraz match and I was like, "Oh my goodness here.
John SilkHOST
Ben is 51-49 against a guy I think is the best player in the world and probably the best clay courter in the world, and probably gonna win the French Open." All of those things end up happening that year as it turns out, but again, Alcaraz could easily have lost the final as we know.
Stephen BoughtonHOST
No it's actually straight to Asia.
Stephen BoughtonHOST
Chengdu, Hangzhou, Laver Cup in London then Beijing, Tokyo, Shanghai then back to Europe.
